TART CONFIGURATION
The terminal is configured by default to automatically attempt to register with the Inmarsat network once
the antenna has acquired the satellite signal and obtained a GPS position fix.
These default configurations are accessible through LaunchPad or the web Man-Machine
Interface (MMI). It is recommended that these settings be retained for convenient operation
of the GX-9 Terminal.

When power is first applied GX-9 will begin a start-up sequence. The antenna will begin its search for the
satellite and the antenna motors may be heard during this time. Note that the antenna must have line of
sight view towards the satellite.
When the vessel is at a fixed location after acquiring the satellite signal the antenna will continue to make
minor adjustments to optimize the signal strength. During this time the you may hear the antenna motors
"tweaking" its direction toward the satellite. If the vessel is completely stationary the antenna will find an
optimum position and stop searching.
When the vessel is underway the antenna will automatically track the satellite signal and keep the
antenna pointed towards the satellite. During short outages (caused by moving under a bridge) the
antenna will remain in the same position and will re-acquire the satellite signal immediately after the
blockage is removed. For longer outages the antenna may need to repeat the search sequence to
reacquire the satellite signal.
Circuit switched and packet switched connections will recover from signal outages of less
than 60 seconds. User intervention may be required to reactivate connections for outage
longer than 60 seconds.
